Newman Projection Video Part 1

September 25, 2012 By Leah4sci 35 Comments

Newman-Projection Tutorial Video Series by Leah4SciNewman Projection Series: Video 1
This video explains conformational isomers and how to visualize and draw Newman Projections
Also discussed are staggered and eclipsed conformations, along with a potential energy diagram for the conformational isomers of ethane from 0 – 360 degrees


(Watch on YouTube: Newman Intro. Click CC on bottom right for transcript.)

    Hello, a part of the video im confused on is the defintion of a gauche. When determining something is a gauche does it have to be a substituent and at 60 degree angles of each other? if so, does that mean hydrogen to hydrogen wouldnt be a gauche simply because its not a substituent? Or would the only criteria that matter be the 60 degree angle? I hope that question made sense!

    why eclipsed form has higher energy than staggered form?

    I have some questions?
    When one methyl group is behind another methyl group then why energy increases ?
    What is the energy that we r talking about?
    Please answer.
    This video was amazinggggggggggggggg. thank u for helping students by allowing them to see such videos.

      If the methyl group eclipses the other think of this as being in the other groups ‘personal space’. When the groups are too close the molecule will try to bend out of the way giving each group more ‘space’ thus decreasing its stability and increasing the energy of the molecule overall
